Seborrheic keratosis is a common type of epidermal tumor that is prevalent in middle-aged and older individuals. These lesions are among the most common types of skin tumors seen by primary care physicians and dermatologists in an outpatient setting. Although seborrheic keratoses are benign tumors often presenting with distinguishing features, there can be some morphological overlap with other malignant skin lesions. Recognizing these features is critical to distinguishing these lesions from other benign and malignant skin tumors. Due to the benign nature of seborrheic keratosis, treatment is often not required. However, a majority of patients still opt to undergo some degree of treatment. Given the prevalence of these tumors, it is important to understand the workup and various treatment modalities for seborrheic keratosis management. This activity outlines the general evaluation and workup of seborrheic keratoses in the outpatient setting and discusses common features of seborrheic keratosis as well as various treatment modalities that are available for the interprofessional team.
